The second most important thing in your life
|
It’s weekend. You’re probably in the couch… and unless you’re reading stuff like this newsletter and review how you can make more money… BAD! You’ve heard me saying it before. The most important decision in your life that will decide most of your chances of success is… Ahh… let me add something. The most important decision that will determine your chances of success and wealth is… The place you live. Yes, sorry. Very simple. Now you wonder, why people all around the world despite Trump and the media saying good and bad things about him and the USA, want to still go to the US. If you live in your home town of 4.100 people… your market is very limited, your providers, your talent pool, the jobs you can access… everything. Limited. Clients and money available to pay for you and/or your services. Very limited. Even if you have good connection to the internet and you dream about a solo freelancering thing. Limited. But let me tell you the second most important thing… And it isn’t what happens to the S&P 500… But, it’s your partner. Yes. The person you marry or stay around with every day. If that sounds dramatic, it’s because it is. But also: it’s math. Married people build 77% more wealth than their single counterparts, according to research published in the Journal of Sociology. According to the St. Louis Federal Reserve in the US, married couples had $393,000 in median wealth in 2022. Unmarried individuals: $80,000. Economists say married couples are more likely to own appreciating assets. When you have a partner, you share dreams and realities. You’re merging balance sheets and belief systems, and the ROI can show up in every part of your life: Better financial outcomes Higher net worth More emotional resilience A stronger foundation for your kids Longer lifespan, fewer health issues, lower rates of depression. Logically, if you stay in a small town… the pool of potential partners is quite reduced… Well… if you’re single, time to switch to Tinder or… Click in the link below (also valid for happy married ones)

Research shows that doctors with 20 years of experience… Are often less skilled than when they first left medical school. Read that again. Less skilled. Let that sink in. These doctors didn’t become worse overnight. They just stopped evolving. They got trapped in routines. In habits. In outdated ways of thinking. So instead of 20 years of experience… They have 1 year of experience repeated 20 times. Shocking? Really? Because, it shouldn’t be. This is the norm. Think of... Engineering....
Yesterday, a student told me:“ You’re selling this for peanuts.” He’s right. I know it. But when something is working… when things are flowing… You don’t touch it. At least, that’s what they say. But here’s the problem: Underpricing is not generosity. It’s positioning. And I’m done positioning this as cheap. So yes…I’m breaking the rule. I’m increasing the price of everything in the academy. All of it. Today, you can still get in at the current price. Tomorrow? You’ll pay double. For example,...
It was under control. Of course it was. April 15, 2019. Semana Santa, aka, Easter… again. The most iconic cathedral in Europe. Notre-Dame Cathedral Under renovation. Experts on site. Protocols in place. And then… Fire. Not a small one. Not, it was not a “candela”… but a catastrophic one. The roof gone. The spire collapsing in front of the world. Millions watching it live… with popcorns. Oups… This was not an abandoned building. This was not chaos. This was a controlled environment. Or at...
